An eclectic collection of passionate music

The list author says:
	"Just listen to Ravel's introduction and allegro for flute clarinet harp + string quartet. Extremely sensual, I know what kind of passion it reminds me of. Also Chung/Lupu play Franck  ravishingly."

The list author says:
	"Now this is the real meaning of the word passion."

The list author says:
	"Kyung Wha Chung plays her violin with bleak passion, and fire without warmth - in my view the finest performance in the 40+ years since Heifetz / Hendl. And a fantastic Tchaikovsky to go with it."

The list author says:
	"What a fantastic live performance of Rachmaninoff's 3rd piano concerto. Worth getting for this alone."

The list author says:
	"Mozart's requiem as profound and passionate as only Mozart can be. John Eliot Gardiner takes this to new heights."

The list author says:
	"Belshazzar's Feast. Previn conducts Walton. Absolutely fabulous. Just hear the choir sing: Yea, we wept  - such poignant passion."

The list author says:
	"This is the Heifetz set to own. Each concerto has a special place for me, each performance likewise. Sibelius, Bruch, and Mendelssohn are the ones that I can't live without, though all are tops.."

The list author says:
	"Many versions of the Allegri Miserere exist. However, this plus the Lotti Crucifixus (à 8) are breathakingly pure. The sixteen are a revelationary experience."

The list author says:
	"Don't read the Amazon listing title, which is unhelpful. This is the most wonderful performance of the Concierto de Aranjuez, and also Fantasia para un gentihombre, by the gifted Carlos Bonnell."

The list author says:
	"Am I the only person on this planet who owns up to finding du Pré's Elgar less than wholly satisfying? If you are like me, try this later Tortelier/Boult collaboration, truly poignant and elegant."

The list author says:
	"Elgar violin concerto, Kennedy in great form. If you don't wish to own the Sammons 1929 version, at least hear it, then buy Kennedy. The two finest performances of this cherished work. Sorry, Lord M."

The list author says:
	"Radu Lupu is SO underrated. I fail to see why this legendary record was so neglected, it is justly reissued on Legends label, a superb remastering of the 1973 recording with ... the underrated Previn!"

The list author says:
	"Saint-Saens' 3rd Violin concerto is beautiful. Kyung Wha Chung show just how passionate it can be, listen to the magical opening, and the luminous arpeggios doubled with clarinet at end of 2nd movt."

The list author says:
	"If you don't want items 1 and 13 above,  try Chung / Lupu's  Franck Sonata, coupled with her fabulous Chausson Poème, the most passionate and satisfying current version."

The list author says:
	"In a way, this is the perfect opera. Freni as Mimi, Pavarotti in his prime, a fab 1972 recording to love and to cherish....."

The list author says:
	"Strauss at 84 was *tired of wandering*. He wrote these 4 last songs in acceptance of his life's end. Jessye's exquisite voice  warms one's soul with such perfect passion and beauty."
